The most important factor to consider with the Thecus N5550 is the price and that really goes for any product. However in the case of the N5550 it’s rather cheap for a 5-bay NAS with a retail price of just $510. As we mentioned earlier in comparison the Drobo 5N costs $600, the QNAP TS-569L $750 and the Synology DS1512+ a whopping $840.
